What Up With Mom?

Hey Kids, are you looking for something REALLY special for your Mom for Mother’s Day?

Will you forget to buy a Mother’s Day Card until the last minute….when all the good ones are gone?

Are you looking for a gift from the heart that won’t make a dent in your wallet?

We are making it easy for you this year! Show your mom that you can use your head and your heart, that she has raised an awesome kid, and that you know exactly what she wants. Without hurting a tree or spending a dime, you can post your special sentiment to your mom in the comment section below, and invite her to read it. Introduce her to BA50- she will love it! Take it from us- we know moms, because we ARE moms- she will be thrilled with a little public adoration! Your mom can share your post with the world and her friends. Give your mom a reason to gloat! Ages 18 to 80 invited to write in (500 word limit.) Feel free to post a picture of you and your mom when you register.

When She’s at her best, my mom is my hero. She is a strong woman who will do whatever she needs to do to make herself and those around her happy. She is so selfless and caring it amazes me. She has been through so much and tolerated even more (especially from me) and she has never faltered in her love for me or anyone she cares about.

My mom is funniest when she’s awake. She always has a smile on her face and laugh on her lips, be it because of a story, joke, book, it doesn’t matter. She can make just about anything funny.

I just wish Mom would have worried about herself years ago. Our relationship is the best it’s ever been and she is finally happy. I wish she would have allowed herself to splurge and make the decisions she needed to make herself this confident years ago.

My most is most annoying when she worries. I will always be her ‘little girl’, and I have no right to be annoyed with her concern. While I have learned that I don’t necessarily always know what’s best for me, I wish I could convey to her that she has instilled the ability to make intelligent, thought out decisions.

My mom’s cooking is second to none. She always makes whatever I, or anyone else in the house, likes. She can make anything taste good, and I love that SHE loves cooking for me. It’s one of the many ways she takes care of me.

I would just like to iterate that I LOVE my mother more than just about anything. I know you love this site and will read this…so happy early Mother’s Day. Decide how you’d like to celebrate! Know that you are my hero and one of my very best friends, and that fact could not make me happier. <3
Now go skip that preface and read your book!! (:

As a mother myself > it’s nice to know daughters and mothers all think alike. I liked what I just read. Very cute . I have two daughters and my oldest one would agree with your special sentiments to your mother . It’s just amazing . Smile

You are my best friend, my role model, my cheerleader, my teacher, and my protector. There is no doubt in my mind that you are one of the best mothers out there. You introduced me to my passions—travel, music, dance—and have influenced who I am today. Without you, I would be lost in life. You’ve always been my biggest supporter (Dad, too), and I try to be the same for you. Whenever I’m feeling down, I know that I can always call you and you’ll cheer me up, or even when I’m bored and want to talk, you’re there. I love your 21-year-old spirit, along with your excessive use of Facebook and being a huge fan of Timeflies. You inspire me daily to be everything that I can be, using your success as my leading example. And if these past 4 months living abroad has taught me anything, it’s that my life isn’t as great without you. I can’t wait to be reunited with you this Mother’s Day and I appreciate you more than I ever have before. I love you with my whole heart and soul. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for me.

Hello Mom,
I was going to try and write you a poem but I realized I am no Shell Silverstein. Instead, I thought I could write you a letter of sorts. It begins like this…

Mom, as I prepare for the summer prior to my final year in college I can’t help but reflect. Reflect on this previous semester. Reflect on the relationships I have had and most importantly, reflect on the person I have become. On Saturday, I travel back home from an amazing semester spent abroad.
As I look back on my time in Spain, I have come to realize; it has been essential to my growth as a man. I have met some remarkable people and seen some incredible things. Yet, the most important growth I have made, comes in the form of appreciation. Many of the people I have met during my experiences in Europe, I will never see again. It is a sad, but true fact. In that regard, I have learned to appreciate every moment I spend with them. This has ultimately caused me to think about those people I appreciate in my life in the states, and one person in particular, has never been appreciated enough, you.
At this point in my life I have finally started to realize what I want to be (a little late on the uptake, I’m aware.) But, through all the hassle and the annoyances, you have never given up on me. You are an amazing woman who has encouraged me in whatever venture I felt best suited me (and there’s been a lot of them.) You are a woman who has showed me through your own perpetual desire to better yourself that hard work is the only work worth doing. So, with Mother’s Day on the horizon, all I am trying to say is; thank you. Thanks for being the best mother; a man could ever ask for. Thanks for always being my friend. Thanks for always having my back. Mom, I love you.
